Disaster Report 4 was set to release on the PlayStation 3 all the way back in 2011. By all accounts, the Irem developed sequel was virtually finished, but following the devastating earthquake in Japan, the company decided to outright cancel the game. However, the rights to the release were re-acquired by Granzella recently, and Disaster Report 4 Plus: Summer Memories has been announced for the PlayStation 4. Are you keeping up?
The game's been built from the ground up using the original PS3 outing as the foundations. You'll be able to play as either a male or female protagonist, where you'll need to survive in a disaster stricken city. Along the way you'll meet with other survivors sharing your plight, and will need to scavenge for resources in order to stay alive. While the trailer doesn't scream new-gen, it does look way better than the planned last-gen release.
No launch date has been revealed just yet, but we're sure that we'll learn more soon. Are you a fan of these survival games? Are you hoping for a Western release? Hide under a table in the comments section below.

Looks good.
Did anyone play I Am Alive on the PS3? I thought that had some decent ideas.
Looks a little sparse at the moment...
I'm definitely interested in this. Can't wait to see more. There aren't enough survival games out there
@get2sammyb True! The ideas were great, the implementation of the ideas was bad
I like these type of games hope it gets a western release. I am glad it got picked up and respect the original developer for pulling the game after a lot of hard work had gone into it. Must have been a hard decision to make.
i loved the original on ps2, im really excited for this! does look a bit empty though. either way id buy it at launch......probably. maybe id wait just a few days to see how it runs first.
Reminds me of Tokyo Jungle...But with people...
God, I miss Tokyo Jungle.
An interactive disaster movie, sounds good.
Be nice to play something survival orientated without Zombies. As much as a I enjoy that scenario, a different take on things would be refreshing.
@get2sammyb I had it for the Xbox 360. I actually enjoyed it.
This looks very interesting as a budget PSN title ($20 or $25 at most on release) but it doesn't look like there's enough there for a typical full retail game. Still it looks really nice, and has some potential. I generally like unconventional game ideas. I don't know that I've played a true straight up survival game, but I find zombie survivor games pretty uncompelling.
wow! My day made, I was recently discussing SOS: The final escape! What a game.
I didn't even know there were sequels! But why not, interested to see how this develops.
@get2sammyb I had I am Alive on Ps3 and initially thought it was brilliant, but, the total lack of direction of where you were supposed to go just got too much for me and I gave up. It could have quite easily been something akin to TLOU but it just lacked that special 'something'. The toxic smoke/dust was a good idea, but, when you just stumble around aimlessly walking into walls and then dying as you run out of oxygen just made it too hard for me.
Ahh I would love to play this. They need to release it in the west, but if not I'll just import it.
I love these games and I can't wait for #4 - so glad it has been uncancelled!
